Given the heat in houston i dont see why this game would be any different? Good point. I have MLS brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSoccerFan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Deserved lead for Bermuda. They will rue all of those missed chances against Haiti and Costa Rica. They could've gotten points from those games on another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's crazy is only a few months back Cuba diced Bermuda in Cuba 5-0. Agree, Bermuda will regret those missed chances but in my eyes had a solid showing this tourney. It's so difficult for me to compare mid table CONCACAF teams. *Edit just realized Nahki Wells and a few others didn't play for Bermuda that game.

If I was in charge of Bermuda's Wikipedia page I might deleted that result also haha. Google has it listed as a friendly. I edited my original post about it, missing lots of their top players in the lineup vs Cuba, in Cuba. Edited June 25, 2019 by apbsmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSoccerFan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Looks like it was in February with a domestic squad. They've got 8 overseas pros so they obviously couldn't play outside of FIFA dates. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have compared the lineups first before posting, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbsmith Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Costa Rica rolling out one of their 3 versions of their tried and true "park the bus, counter attack" 4-4-1-1 vs Haiti. The Ticos only need a tie to win the group, so makes sense for them. Though I do jope Haiti get them on a set piece header. Should be an intriguing match/scouting opportunity for us. Both teams fielding pretty much their best XI to win the group and play us instead of Mexico in the QFs. Edited June 25, 2019 by apbsmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngravs Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I would love to see how we would match up with Haiti. Their quick counterattack scare me but I think we could pick them apart quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiti look to be a slightly less polished, but somehow more unpredictable (if not dangerous) version of Martinique. One thing is for sure though, we'll have to be at our best in the quarter finals. Both of these teams can be difficult for us if we don't come out to play. johnyb, Kadenge, Shortdutchcanuck and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Costa Rica looking better now than at the beginning of the tournament. Probably the result of rising to the occasion. Their experience worries me, but on the balance of overall talent, I think we may have a slight edge. In terms of overall consistency both teams are close, but we have a few big individual talents they don't seem to have - specifically Davies and David.

Obinna Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Haiti could have gone ahead on that one. They are eating CR alive on the counter. Herdman is taking plenty of notes surely. Edited June 25, 2019 by Obinna apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 8 hours ago, Kent said: Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but weren't you a big voice in questioning Herdman when he was given the job? I didn't ever watch the video, but I remember this quote and another from you at the time. I thought there was another line from you about it being the darkest day in Canadian soccer or something, but I'm not finding it at the moment and there is a lot to go through in the relevant threads. The reason why it sticks out is because I was surprised it came from you, since I know you are a big supporter of the women's game (more so than me). To be fair, this was when the news was super fresh. Maybe once you had some time to digest what had happened you cooled down a bit. Are you referring to me - red card? You must be mistaking me for somebody else. I never was upset at Herdman's hiring. As you said, I do follow the women's team, so I know more than others that he would help the men's team. I have seen him at corporate events, so I know what type of impact he can have on people and organizations. And now if read my recent posts, I'm not so happy with KHM (even before today's loss).
